Exhibition Stand Builders, Designers, Fabricators | Stands Bay

How much does an exhibition stand cost?

Exhibition stand costs depend on size, design complexity, materials, and required services. Modular rental options start from around USD 3,000 for smaller booths. Custom-built stands for major international trade shows typically range from USD 8,000 to USD 50,000 or more depending on square metres, finishes, AV integration, and special structural requirements. We provide a free itemised quotation within 24 hours of your brief — no commitment required.

How far in advance should I book my stand?

For large international trade shows, we recommend booking 8 to 12 weeks in advance. Standard custom builds take 12 to 18 days from design approval. Double-decker or multi-level structures require 22 to 28 days including structural documentation. If your event is less than 4 weeks away, contact us directly — we regularly accommodate urgent builds depending on our current fabrication schedule.

Do you build stands outside the Middle East?

Yes. We operate across 16 countries including markets across the Middle East, GCC, and Europe. Each location has a dedicated operations team familiar with local venue regulations, contractor registration requirements, and compliance standards. See our locations page for full coverage details.

Do you handle venue compliance and regulations?

Yes. Every market we operate in has its own venue regulations, fire safety requirements, and structural standards. Our compliance team manages all documentation, material certification, and required approvals as part of the standard project scope — this is not an extra charge.

Can I reuse my stand at multiple events?

Yes, and we actively recommend it for companies that exhibit regularly. Our modular aluminium systems are engineered for reuse — same frame, updated graphics for each new event. Reusing across two or more events typically saves 60 to 70% compared to building from scratch each time. We offer stand storage between events so you are ready for the next show without delay.

What is included in your exhibition stand service?

Our full-service package includes: initial brief and consultation, free 3D design concept within 24 hours, itemised fixed-price quotation, fabrication using venue-certified materials, transport and logistics to your venue, on-site installation, on-site management throughout the event, and complete post-event dismantling. Optional additions include AV equipment rental, high-format graphics printing, and stand storage.

How quickly can you produce a 3D design?

Within 24 hours of receiving your brief. We send a photorealistic 3D concept along with a full itemised quotation. No payment or commitment is required at this stage. If revisions are needed, we typically return them the same day.

Do you work with first-time exhibitors?

Yes. Many of our clients are exhibiting at an international trade show for the first time. Our project managers guide first-time exhibitors through the full process — what to expect at the venue, how to brief the design, what compliance documents you will need, and how to set up your stand to attract visitors effectively on the exhibition floor.
